Far, far from the truth. I think I have demonstrated that plenty on these forums. I may have an unfortunate tendency to express my opinions rather strongly, but I realize my opinions are just that, opinions, and I have a good deal of respect for those of others.
My point was that it is unreasonable to suggest that they go about anaylizing every aspect of an actors face to make sure every little thing matches up to the point of being able to truely convince someone that one actor is the other actor when he was a kid (but only when they appear on screen together, otherwise they can look as glaringly different as Hadyen and Loyd or McGregor and Genius). Sure, when casting such a role I expect them to make it believable enough, which I feel they did just fine. I also find it unreasonable to take a poorly done casting decision and use it to conclude that some character in the story was lying, because you in real life were not convinced actor B makes a good young version of actor A.
I liked the Boost's comment on Obi-Wan getting rid of the original Anakin and replacing him with some other teenage boy sometime between Ep. 1 and Ep.2. Likewise, regardless of what Lucas intended for the story, I am convinced that sometime between Ep.3 and Ep.4, Obi-Wan must have been discovered and perhaps killed, and an undercover agent of the Sith was put there in his place (which is the Obi-Wan we see in Ep.4). His job was to get Luke to leave Tantooine and go to the Death Star to get captured. Probably he was never real? An illusion made by Vader, which is why he vanished suddenly when Vader touched him with the lightsaber.This must be true, because it is obvious Ewan and Sir Alec are two different people. They don't even share the same moles on their faces.
I have nothing against your opinion in the matter, I simply disagree with you and think you're being rather unreasonable in your efforts to nitpick this film, which is quite frankly such an awful pile of crap of a film that it hardly deserves the honor of having someone pick its nits,
